ISCAR is introducing unique chucks that combine user-friendly hydraulic clamping with side screw clamping for Weldon type shank tools.
The new HYDRO-SURE (patent pending) adapters can be used for standard Weldon shank tools, meaning that there is no need for special/costly tools and adapters which prevent tools from pullout.
Main Features:
High torque transmission when using standard Weldon type shank tools
Axial and radial movement prevention of the cutter, tool pullout eliminated
Very accurate concentricity of 0.003mm
Very rigid peripheral hydraulic clamping also features vibration dampening
Suitable for both heavy duty and finishing applications
Excellent surface finishing and prolonged tool life in H.P.C. machining
The new HYDRO-SURE chucks are available for a tool diameter range of 16 to 32mm.
Profitability from machining a part is dependent on the machine type, cutting tool, cutting conditions and the interaction between them. ITA (ISCAR Tool Advisor) is a user-friendly, web-based tool selection software that is constructed upon a unique mathematical algorithm.
Iscar Metals Inc. has expanded its popular HELIDO milling cutter family to optimize facemilling, especially for cast iron. The new HELIDO S865 FSN mill has a 65<sup>o</sup> lead angle to minimize burr formation and edge breakout, which can complicate cast iron applications.
Iscar Metals Inc. says its 11mm profiling insert does the job of a bigger one, thus enabling finer-pitch cutters for smoother profiling and lower chip loads.
Iscar Metals Inc. says it has improved its line of CUT-GRIP and HELI-GRIP groove/turn tools with a new CVD-coated substrate that doubles tool life while raising productivity by 15 percent.
